5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Video!, November 14, 2006

By	skrapbooker "skrapbooker" - See all my reviews

We just received this & watched it for the first time. It is amazingly well done!!! My 2-year-old son was mesmerized. Such a wonderful retelling of the true Christmas story. Contains lots of great detail & yet keeps a toddler's attention! Definitely something he can grow into as well over the years. One very cute thing is that the characters often quote the lines from familiar Christmas carols. ;) Excellent!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's About Time!, November 24, 2006

By	A. Horn "neat freak" (Naperville, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We watched this movie on a Direct TV channel (surprise) and loved it! My four-year old daughter watched the whole 30 minutes without flinching and that says a lot. It's explained so simply and with such wonderful animation that even I was drawn to watch it and I never tired of it either. This is definitely a must-have for your Christmas collection. Thanks to Exclaim Entertainment for a refreshing and long overdue nativity story for everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars True to the Word, Fun to Watch too!, November 28, 2006

By	Narnia Fan - See all my reviews

My sons, 2 & 5 yrs old just LOVE to watch this movie over and over again. So do I. It's only a 20-minute film, so it's just perfect for friends and family gathering events with kids. The movie contains rhyming narration and wordings that's easy on the younger ears. Listening to it feels like someone is reading us a very good Christmas book. The music are pleasant to hear, my 2 yrs old dances to the tunes. It also has funny scenes which made my kids laughed. The characters and colors are so vibrant and cute, and most of all, it truly reflects the core of Christian faith, which I find really refreshing.
